Pastor Rebecca serves Emmanuel Lutheran Church. She is new to Granbury but excited to get to know the wider community and all the places God is at work outside the walls of the church and within them. She is a native Texan who grew up in DFW, graduated from Texas A&M, SMU, and most recently Luther Seminary in the cold northlands of Minnesota. She loves music, history, learning more about God and how God is present throughout the world, and her cat Hestia, and is very glad to be home.
If you have any questions, concerns, or need to reach out, Pastor Rebecca can be reached via email at pastor.rebecca@elcgranbury.com or phone at 817-326-2201.
